What is the value of this module to me as a Critical Business Management Student?

In essay writing you are taught to write an introduction a beginning, middle and an end around a topic, within which you write from two or more stand points, generally, for and against, interpreting information in ones own words and applying it to scenarios and expanding on what we already know. To be able to do this one needs to use texts written by others as well as our own knowledge to be able to give our own opinion on matters around the given subject.

Written above is my interpretation of what an essay is and how I would have gone about writing in response to a given title. In looking at the title; "What is the value of this module to me as a Critical Business Management Student?" initially I found it very hard to be able to come up with a response, or any ideas of what to write. The essay itself was set in week two, at which point I though how can this module have any value to me as I do not know what it is about. I assumed from the module title "Approaching the Research Project and Dissertation" that it would helping us to develop ideas towards the planning and undertaking of our dissertation research project. Initially I did not see how the lectures were helping as they seemed to divert so far from the initial topic, that in my opinion what was being spoken about was no longer relevant. My opinion has now changed, though I do find the lectures very hard to take in and understand, having listened to what is being said, my understanding of the lecture tends to come in a subconscious reflection when reading something else. I will apply what has been said or discussed with the lecture instinctively to another essay title or piece of reading. Though this is possibly something I have always done I am now aware of it.

To me the biggest value of this module has been the emphasis of understanding what your essay question, title, is asking of you, and for you to do. In the case of this title, the first part; "What is the value of this module to me". What is value?; the Oxford English dictionary states "the regard that something is held to deserve; importance or worth." (www.askoxford.com) The first part of the title is asking me to look the importance of this module to me. For myself another key part of the first part of this title is "me", ...
